Chapter 253 Sword Pointing to Chest

In the 321st year of the elf calendar, August 25th.

The sun hangs high in the sky, and patches of floating clouds flow slowly by like light boats.

In the black market at the port of Little Orange Island, Nobunaga was sitting on a deck chair in a wooden house, flipping through the transaction details in his hand, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Sure enough, the black market is the most lucrative industry. No wonder Team Rocket wants to take down all the black markets in Guandu at all costs."

Just when Nobunaga was sitting on the chair and was full of emotions, Shitou and Hideyoshi walked into the wooden house quickly.

When Nobunaga saw the two people coming in, he immediately put down the report in his hand, stood up and asked with a smile:

"How about it, is everything about the tourist hotel settled?"

When Shitou heard Nobunaga's question, the expression on his face suddenly became ugly. He silently took out a letter written by Dahei from his backpack, and said softly:

"Shui Shengmao was killed by me, but the killer organization behind him is actually from Apollo."

"After I found out their true identities, Apollo's subordinates informed Daping the next day, telling us to leave Hualan City voluntarily, otherwise Apollo, the fourth general of the Rockets, would take action himself."

When Nobunaga heard Shitou's words, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he quickly opened Daping's handwritten letter and examined it carefully.

"Boss, the tourism hotel industry was built by you yourself, but it's a pity that Daping is incompetent and let you down."

"Now that Apollo of the Rockets wants to seize this property, my subordinates know that you, the boss, will be very angry after receiving the news, but Daping still hopes that you can calm down and give in. After all, hitting a stone with an egg is not the best policy."

"The subordinates have now integrated their assets and are quietly waiting for your order in Hualan City."

——Sincerely, Daping

After reading this letter written by Ohira, Nobunaga couldn't help showing anger on his face, he tore the letter into pieces, and said sharply to Shishi Hideyoshi:

"Bastard! Before Apollo even made a move, Daping was thinking of retreating first! Shitou, why didn't you know how to whip this bastard for me when you were in Hualan City!"

Hearing Nobunaga's angry words, Hideyoshi hurriedly lowered his head, without any intention of answering.

Shi Shi squatted down with a calm face, picked up the scraps of letter paper on the ground, and said softly:

"I think Daping did the right thing. After all, Apollo is the fourth general of the Rockets. There is no benefit for us to confront him now. Instead, it will affect your situation within the Rockets."

After hearing Shitou's words, Nobunaga looked at him and said with a smile:

"Why did Apollo end at this time? It's obviously targeting me! Seizing the tourist hotel is just an introduction. They're trying to stick a sword into my chest."

"If I give in to him at this time! Then how can I gain a foothold in the Rockets in the future! Why do you have no brains at all! Bastards!"

After Shitou heard Nobunaga's words, he immediately realized the strangeness of this matter, and a serious expression appeared on his face. He stood up and said forcefully:

"That's right, Apollo's properties are located in four cities. Although our tourist hotel has made a lot of money, as the fourth general of the Rockets, he really shouldn't end by himself."

Seeing that Shishi finally understood, Nobunaga suppressed the anger in his heart, took two steps back and sat back on the chair, and said calmly:

"If this incident is not unexpected, it should be Athena's handwriting, and she is the only one in Team Rocket who can command Apollo."

"They're forcing me to take sides.

"

After all, Nobunaga sighed slightly, took out all the materials seized from his backpack, and watched the two say again:

"Since they want to force me back to the headquarters, I might as well do what they wish and return to the Kanto Continent tonight."

"Hideyoshi, transfer these resources to Men Yan on my behalf, and tell him not to be too harsh on the masons, I will ask about the development of the organization at any time."

"Shitou, you will be in charge of the black market at the port from today onwards, read more books if you have nothing to do, study hard, and stop acting like an idiot."

After hearing Nobunaga's words, Shitou and Hideyoshi fell silent.

Seeing the reaction of the two, Nobunaga didn't say anything else. He stood up and quickly walked out of the wooden house to recover his elf, and quickly left the black market at the port in a forked bat.

After Nobunaga left, Hideyoshi still had no expression on his face, just squatted down silently, and picked up various resources placed on the ground.

But the stone next to him stood there for a long time, unable to let go, and a heavy look appeared on his face.

...

Team Rocket, Rainbow Base.

In an office on the fourth floor of the logistics department building, Athena was sitting on a leather swivel chair, flipping through the information of the Hualan City Tourist Hotel.

Aihara EMI stood in front of the desk, waiting for Athena to speak respectfully, but the uneasy look in her eyes when she lowered her head slightly betrayed the true thoughts in her heart.

After reading the document in her hand, Athena took a sip from her red wine glass, a charming smile appeared on her face, she turned her gaze forward, and said softly to Aihara EMI:

"Apollo's subordinates are really easy to use. No wonder he took people to raid the Quartz Plateau last time. He was determined not to use his own subordinates. Instead, he let those neutrals go with him."

"Emi, do you think Nobunaga will like the gift I gave him, or, do you think he will choose to come back to me?"

When Aihara EMI heard Athena's question, his face suddenly became serious, and he directly bent down and replied in a deep voice:

"My lord, I've studied Nobunaga's resume, and he doesn't seem like the kind of man who would bow down to others."

Hearing Aihara EMI's clever answer, Athena's eyes revealed a little coldness, but she didn't open her mouth to scold. Instead, the smile on her face became more charming. Picking up the red wine glass on the table, she said casually:

"No need to talk about Nobunaga. The big wolf dog is a big wolf dog after all. No matter how powerful he is, he can't resist Kuailong's breath."

After all, Athena took a sip of the red wine, put down the glass and stood up, walked slowly to Aihara EMI, and continued:

"People, don't think too much about yourself. Rules are always made by the strong for the weak, and no matter what the strong do, they don't need any reason. Do you understand?"

When Aihara EMI heard Athena's playful words, a few drops of sweat ran across her fair face, and her lips became pale. She said nervously:

"My lord, this subordinate understands."

Athena looked at Aihara EMI's uncomfortable appearance, turned her back with a contemptuous smile on her face, and then said softly:

"I've already dealt with those ignorant guys for you. You can take the people from the Second Squadron to the research institute to garrison tonight."

Hearing those guys in Athena's mouth, Aihara EMI couldn't help shrinking his pupils, his breathing became rapid, he turned around stiffly, bent down to Athena, and replied softly:

"Yes, this subordinate will take people to garrison."

After all, Aihara EMI straightened up, quickly moved his legs that seemed to be filled with lead, and hurried out of Athena's office.

When Aohara EMI left, Athena walked to the sofa and sat down slowly, her eyes showed a penetrating chill, but the corners of her mouth still showed a charming smile.

At this moment, Amohara EMI has already walked out of the logistics department building. Judging from her hurried steps, I am afraid that Athena's last words really scared her.
